Senior Solution Architect

Jakarta, Indonesia
Full Time
Engineering
Experienced

We are looking for Solution Architects who win complex cloud, data, and AI engagements.

You own the technical solution in presales: from discovery to architecture to proposal. Your success is measured primarily by whether the customer commits — because they trust the solution and the thinking behind it.

After a deal is closed, you briefly attach to the delivery teams to ensure architectural continuity and a strong start, then move on to the next opportunity.

This is a front-of-the-deal, high-impact role, not a long-term delivery position.
 

Your operating model

  • Lead technical discovery and translate business problems into clear, compelling solution designs
  • Shape cloud-native architectures that are realistic, scalable, and differentiated
  • Work closely with Sales and Delivery on proposals, RFPs, and executive conversations
  • Explain complex systems clearly to both technical teams and senior business stakeholders
  • Stress-test ideas with Delivery and Technology leaders to ensure solutions are executable in the real world
  • Attach post-sale to stabilize early delivery and clarify architectural intent
 

How you’ll be judged

  • Your technical win rate and ability to earn customer trust
  • The clarity, credibility, and coherence of your solution designs
  • Your judgment when balancing ambition with feasibility
  • How effectively you collaborate across Sales, Delivery, and Technology to move deals forward
  • Your ability to operate calmly and decisively in ambiguous, high-pressure presales situation
 

Your experience should look roughly like this

  • Typically 7+ years in solution architecture, technical consulting, or senior engineering roles
  • Proven experience in presales or customer-facing technical roles, shaping and winning complex deals
  • Strong foundation in cloud architecture (Google Cloud (GCP) preferred), data platforms, or distributed systems
  • Demonstrated ability to operate at both technical and executive levels
  • Track record of turning ambiguous problems into clear, trusted solutions
 

The level of technical fluency we expect

This is not a pure hands-on engineering role — but you must be technically convincing.

  • You are comfortable reasoning about systems beyond diagrams: data flows, failure modes, integration points, and trade-offs
  • You can go one level deeper when needed — sketching, validating assumptions, or rough-prototyping ideas to de-risk decisions
  • You are pragmatic about tools, languages, and platforms, and can adapt as technology choices evolve
  • You use modern approaches, including AI-assisted exploration or prototyping, to think faster, test ideas, and sharpen solutions
  • You know when “good enough to decide” is better than “perfect but late”

You don’t need to be the best coder in the room — but you cannot bluff the technical side of this role.
 

Explicit non-responsibilities

  • Owning delivery execution, project management, or P&L
  • Being measured by lines of code or ticket throughput
  • Spending months embedded in a single project
  • Acting as a standards-only or governance-only architect
 

What makes this role distinctive

  • You operate at the most decisive moment of the lifecycle: when deals are won or lost
  • Success is visible, measurable, and directly tied to impact
  • You work on complex, non-trivial customer problems — not commodity projects
  • You collaborate with strong peers in Solution Architecture, and across Delivery, Technology, and Sales
  • You get autonomy, trust, and accountability — without unnecessary process
